Worst Lyrics of all time

Postby Angiekay » Fri Jul 11, 2008 1:37 am




Van Halen is among the bands listed in a recent poll of the 10 Worst Lyrics of All Time. According to MusicRadar.com, the lyric "Only time will tell if we stand the test of time" from "Why Can't This Be Love" made the cut. Also on the list is "He was a boy, she was a girl. Can I make it any more obvious?" from the song "Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne. The lyric "Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don't confuse them with mountains" from Shakira's "Whenever, Wherever" hit song is Number Eight on the list. The Number One worst lyric of all time comes from German electro group Snap!, which had a hit in 1992 with the song "Rhythm Is A Dancer." The track featured the phrase "I'm serious as cancer, when I say rhythm is a dancer." Also on the list were songs by 50 Cent, Will Smith and Nelly.

"Is that yo ass, or yo mama half reindeer?" -- "Shake Ya Tailfeather" by Nelly, P Diddy and Murphy Lee
"He was a boy, she was a girl. Can I make it any more obvious?" -- "Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne

These are all songs from my youth!! Gah! The lyrics did suck. But I still loved the songs... they were all novelty. Especially the thong song... man that takes me back to a spring formal in '98 or '99 and e'rrrabody was going crazy when that came on. Wow... 10 years ago. Dang.

Yep- worst SONG too!

I'm amazed that nothing by the Scorpions made this list. I love me some Scorps, but come on, lyrically they are pretty wretched. ("give her inches and feed her well" comes to mind...)

And for the love of all that's holy HOW did THIS gem not land at #1?

That Van Halen one isn't nearly as bad IMO as some in Bon Jovi's "I'll Be There For You", lol:

I'll be the water when you get thirsty
When you get drunk I'll be the wine

Such romantic lyrics, lol.

Maybe I'll give to you a blood transfusion

Better than the debated "When you get the clap, I'll be the antibiotic cream."
That was the version they tried to sell to Motley Crüe. :P

First of all rap lyrics need to be in a category of their own. And maybe they meant mambo not mamba?

KANYE WEST -- THE NEW WORKOUT PLAN

You just popped in the Kanye West
Get right for the summer workout tape
And ladies if you follow these instructions exactly

Man, at least a dude wit' a car
So first of all we gon' work on the stomach
Nobody wants a little tight ass!


1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and get them sit ups right and
Tuck your tummy tight and do your crunches like this
Give head, stop breathe, get up, check your weave
Don't drop the blunt and disrespect the weed
Pick up your son and don't disrespect your seed
It's a party tonight and ooh she's so excited
Tell me who's invited: you, your friends and my dick
What's scary to me is Henny makes girls look like Halle Berry to me
So excuse me miss, I forgot your name
Thank you, God bless you, good night I came..

Oh girl your silhouette make me wanna light a cigarette
My name Kanye from the Jigga set Twista said get it wet
Ooh, girl your breath is HARSH
Cover your mouth up like you got SARS
Off them tracks yea I bought them cars
Still killa a nigga on 16 bars
We ain't sweatin' to the oldies we jukin to a cold beat
Maybe one day girl we can bone
So you can brag to all your homies now
But I still mess with a big girl if you ain't fit girl I'll hit girl
1 and you brought 2 friends OK 3 more now hop in the Benz
4 door do you know the difference between a 5, 6, 7, 8

All them mocha lattes you gotta do Pilates
You gotta pop this tape in before you start back dating
Hustlers, gangstas, all us, ballas

Yes, they did have some cheesy lyrics. :lol: But I remember I loved that song "I Want You" by BJ, for eons, cheesy lyrics and all.......loved the chorus. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOj5KWMLvOk

I WANT YOU

The last time I saw her
Was the night she said goodbye
She said that loves a stranger
And it's sure to pass you by, yes she did
As she packed up her belongings
Baby wouldn't look me in the eye
But I could see a tear roll
Off her face
As we both tried so hard
Not to cry she said

I never wanted the stars
Never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say
Is all I wanted was you

I tried so hard to remember
Where when how why love went away
I tried to drown myself in pity
But your memory kept calling your name, yes it did

I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings, baby
All the things that money brings
And the servants to paint the sky blue
And I worked so hard seven days a week
And built a fortress for your heart to keep
If I could I'd wrap these words up for you

I never wanted the stars
Never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say
Is all I wanted was you

I want you, I want you, baby I want you

But never thought you were alone
I filled the party up with company
But never made our house a home

All I've got is my guitar these chords and the truth
All I've got is my guitar ... but all, baby all I want

I never wanted the stars
Never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say
Is all I wanted was you

I don't care if they were on drugs, I think these lyrics are stupid. Joo-joo eyeball and Ono sideboard? Were they writing this using a broken scrabble board?

Come Together
Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me

My God, you're so freakin right

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman (woo), they are the eggmen (woo), I am the walrus,
Coo coo, kachoo.

Mister City P'liceman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run.
I'm crying.
I'm cry, I'm crying, I'm cry, I'm crying.

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl and you let your knickers down.
I am the eggman (woo), they are the eggmen (woo), I am the walrus,
Coo coo, kachoo.

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan from
Standing in the English rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
Coo coo kachoo ka coo coo kachoo.

Expert texpert choking smokers,
Don't you think the joker laughs at you? (ho ho ho, he he he, ha ha ha)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snide.

Come Together
Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me


Ah, look at the imagery. Four Beatles, four verses. The first is Ringo, the second is George, the third is John and the fourth is Paul.

Easy! :wink:

I think "I Am The Walrus" beats that


My God, you're so freakin right

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman (woo), they are the eggmen (woo), I am the walrus,
Coo coo, kachoo.

Mister City P'liceman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run.
I'm crying.
I'm cry, I'm crying, I'm cry, I'm crying.

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl and you let your knickers down.
I am the eggman (woo), they are the eggmen (woo), I am the walrus,
Coo coo, kachoo.

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan from
Standing in the English rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
Coo coo kachoo ka coo coo kachoo.

Expert texpert choking smokers,
Don't you think the joker laughs at you? (ho ho ho, he he he, ha ha ha)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snide.
I'm crying.

Oh come on now. It's just poetic imagery (and lots of drugs :) ) Not really a "worst lyric ever " candidate, is it?. To me the worst lyrics are the ones that are SO horribly literal. I once again go back to NEVER SAY GOODBYE (You lost more than that in my back sear BAAA-BY!!!)
Horrible...abso-fucking-lutely horrible! A drug induced poetic rant from John Lennon? Pretty cool, if you ask me...

...words of wisdom from Lil Wayne, taken from Lollipop (remix). Enjoy.

...Tell a girl like Doritos thats not yo (Nacho) cheese
Tell her friends like Fritos im trying to lay
I can only have one and i aint aint tryin to wait...


...Shawty say she wanna lick the wrapper
And she gonna lick the rapper
And I just wanna act like a porno flicking actor
I Anita Bake-her (Baker) her now she caught up in the rapture
I got so much chips
I swear they call me Hewlett Packard
I got so much chips
You can have a bag if you're a snacker
Greedy motha fudge cake
Now tell me how that fudge taste...


...I Flushed out the feeling of
Me being the shit
Cuz I was leaving skid marks on everywhere I sit...


...IPod, ya girlfriend and she say I got great sex
Safe sex is great sex
Better wear a latex
Cuz you dont want that late text
that "I think I'm late" text
So wrap it up
but but he so sweet,
she wanna lick the rapper...
